Practice Areas

Matt is head of our Corporate practice, a key part of which is our nationally recognised Private Equity team, which Matt founded and also leads. Our private equity group proudly represents a number of leading UK Private Equity houses and their portfolio companies and recently named winner of the Regional Legal Advisor of the Year 2020 at the Real Deals Private Equity Awards.

Private Equity forms a key part of our go-to-market strategy, so is also recognised as a core lead sector for Foot Anstey, as we seek to build deep relationships with Private Equity backed management teams and portfolio companies.

Matt also leads our market leading “GRIP” product, which is a tech-enabled solution to streamline and satisfy the core legal and compliance obligations of PE portfolio companies.

Matt trained and qualified into the Private Equity department of the leading City firm Travers Smith and prior to joining Foot Anstey, spent several years at Kinmont, a corporate finance boutique in London acknowledged as a leader in advising management teams. Management advisory remains a core part of Matt’s practice.
